Description

A four-phase development is proposed, whereby two buildings are constructed in the canal in the first phase. Only then is the public space laid out, deciding whether or not to reuse the existing industrial buildings and, finally, the possible larger-scale redevelopment of Havenkwartier. Two buildings and new public space by the waterside are elaborated. The buildings are designed as if they are shipwrecks washed ashore. The folds of the façades and the roofs, also a reference to ships, is deployed as the architectural theme.
